I am retired apart from managing family investments - mostly equities. I live near Zürich, Switzerland. I keep physically fit by walking and mentally fit by writing mostly on philosophy, economics and politics. My writing is sometimes published internationally.

As a retired businessman with a passion for drawing, who has lived on four continents, I long ago started to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us - the enormous variety of colours, flora, fauna and topography and the impact that has had on cultures and peoples. Most of us view that beauty without really seeing it and for thousands of years artists have tried to capture it and thus, teach us the art of seeing. If you like art you might like my work.

Thank you for the follow up. My opinion has been hardened since I wrote that given the denial of problems by many political leaders including recently the PM of Australia whose country is the world’s worst per capita polluter in the world.

Thank you for reading. That lack of care is shared by many administrations around the world and their brainwashed followers. As an angry old man whose generation has caused much of this I am so pleased that future generations are protesting and are going to do something about it. Those young people protesting, that I mentioned in the article, are being joined now by the young in Britain, Switzerland and Belgium. The remote, elite "leaders" are scorning them but soon these people will be old enough to vote and I hope they use it to return that scorn, bury those corrupt "leaders" and lead us into a cleaner world in all respects.
